It’s time. Basketball season is upon us and Niner Nation gets its first taste of Charlotte 49ers men’s basketball Friday night at 8 p.m. against the Newberry Wolves, part of a double header with the women’s basketball game starting at 5:30 p.m.
After posting a 14-19 record last season, the 49ers were picked to finish 10th in some poles, using that as motivation to come out hot against Newberry. Charlotte’s head coach Mark Price is entering his second season with the program, needing to begin this season where he left off, winning five of their last seven games.
